What are your tips for raising a Jack Russell puppy?

I am getting a Jack Russell puppy in 2 weeks. I have experience with Jack's but not puppies. Any tricks of the trade or tips you could pass along from your experience would be great. I have done the research and spoken with owners. In some cases I get conflicting tips. I am interested in housebreaking, basic training, altering, socialization and anything else you can add.

Only one real suggestion that is something you know from having a Jack..EXERCISE EXERCISE...Also always start training for potty outside , no pads..easier for the both of you. And I am a freak about neutering and spaying so that's a given in my book unless you show the dog. Socialize the dog as much as possible other dogs, cats, people, car rides,everything you can think to do at a a young age to help dog as it grows! The more socialization the better the dog!
Good luck with your new fur friend!

How do I get my Jack Russell to start mousing?

Hello -

I have a 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier that has a strong prey drive. For some reason he is not going after mice in the house. Is there a good way to get the dog to start mousing? I've seen him sniffing around, but he doesn't seem to be actively going after them for some reason. Jack Russell's are supposed to be excellent mousers. Is there anything I can do to help interest him in catching the mice?

Thanks!

why dont you try getting a stuffed mouse toy that you can put dog treats in. so that way he will recognize the shape and maybe think he will be getting a treat at the center?
